BIAFRA,AWOLOWO And Others. by LOIUSXIV: 6:35pm On Sep 30, 2011 |
much has been made of the WAR ERA policies of CHIEF OBAFEMI AWOLOWO,. the finance minister during the nigerian civil war(1967/1970).it is widely believed or evident that as the no.2 man running the show ,he crafted the Gowon rebuttal of the Aburi conference resolutions which some believed would have averted the bloodshed,maybe maybe not.it is pertinent know that in war there is no universal rules, instead war zone conventions are relative. is it right to call ex U.S PRESIDENT W. BUSH,WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE DEATH OF OVER 200,00 IRAQIS$over 4,000 U.S Servicemen and women,a war criminal? AS MY OWN OPINION,AWO performed well in the capacity he found himself and excellently well too.during the jewish war A.D 66/70,ROMAN GENERAL, TITUS, CONQUERED JERUSALEM,after much bloodshed,today, the TITUS ARCH STILL stands in ROME,ITALY.others have called TITUS a war criminal,many miliions yet adore him.ALEXANDER THE GREAT, WAS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR THOUSANDS OF DEATHS,TODAY, EUROPEAN SCHOLARS REVERE HIM and his'achievements'.and what of NAPOLEON,THE LIVING 'GOD' OF French nationalists?i am pretty sure that if any biafran leader then had the opportunity or resources AWO'S FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAD, HOW THE WAR IS WON WOULD BE NO OBJECT.the end justifies the means,IT WOULD HAVE ALSO BEEN SAID.in every manthere is a ''selfishiness''of sorts, whether you admit it or not.LIKE IN ATHLETICS OR OTHER SPORTS,THE ONLY THING IS WINNING.those who accussed awolowo of STARVATION,should ask themselves whether being soft has ever achieved anything.MR. JONATHAN IS ROUGHLY,FINDING THAT OUT NOW.in war,there would always be casualties.yes,in war there are ugly things,but it is part of the tragedy that comes up in any conflict.AWO,AS ANY MAN,is not and was not perfect.of greater impotance is to PONDER BEFORE GOING THE WHOLE HOG.''DON'T GET INTO A FIGHT YOU CAN'T WIN'' |

LOIUS XIV: Please correct the impression of Awo being #2 during the era in reference. Since you have it wrong in the first sentences of the conjectural crap, I guess it does not worth a second look. |
